For best results make sure your sprite is grayscale to start with.

Post the code, and attach one of your sprite graphics.

Without looking at either one it's hard to say why you "failed"

Here's an example...

+ Code Snippet
SetVirtualResolution(480,480)
planetImg = LoadImage("planet.png")
planetSpr = CreateSprite(planetImg)

do

    Sync()

    if GetPointerReleased()
        SetSpriteColor(planetSpr, random(0,255), random(0,255), random(0,255), 255)
    endif

loop


and here's the image...



Notice that the color image is shaded with the new color.

sorry , I took a mistake. it was not a sprite,but a text object.

agk::SetTextColor can't change the color which I need.

May I ask, is it the same for text and sprite to SetColor ?

The arguments for SetTextColor() are the same. But if the text is from a custom font sheet, it will only shade the colors that are not-white. If you want to replace the color in a custom font, you'll need to do that outside of AppGameKit, in a paint package.
